Guide to school and area statistics
A short key for the statistics shown on this page for S63. We have not listed house prices, broadband, green space or similar extras here unless they appear in the neighbourhood and area context section.
School listings
What you see on each school card
Only fields that appear on at least one school on this page are listed. Hover a stat row when you see a question mark for a one-line reminder.
- School type
- How the school is run — for example academy, council-maintained, voluntary aided or free school.
- Trust
- The multi-academy trust or sponsor running the school, where it is an academy.
- Age range
- Year groups on roll — for example 4–11 for primary, or 11–18 with sixth form.
- Ofsted
- Latest published inspection grade, inspection date where we have it, and a link to the school’s page on the Ofsted reports site.
- Straight-line miles
- Distance as the crow flies from your home postcode when you have entered one, otherwise from the middle of this district. Not walking or driving time.
- Walking, cycling and park-and-stride hints
- Rough bands from straight-line miles: about 1 mile or less may suit walking; about 1–2.5 miles we show cycling and park-and-stride; over about 2.5 miles park-and-stride only. Not checked routes or journey times.
- Pupils
- Number of pupils on roll from published school census data.
- Free school meals
- Share of pupils eligible for free school meals.
- SEN
- Share of pupils with SEN support or an Education, Health and Care plan.
- SEN provision
- Extra on-site support such as a resourced provision or SEN unit.
- English as an additional language (EAL)
- Share of pupils whose first language is not English, where recorded.
- Attendance
- Share of possible sessions attended. Higher is better.
- Persistent absence

- Admissions pressure

- Primary: share meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (Key Stage 2). Secondary: Progress 8. A dash means nothing was published for that school.
- Attainment vs local
- Compares each school’s headline to others of the same phase on this page — above, below or about average for the district.
